Hermione finished up double checking her History of Magic
exam and handed it in. Turning over the probability of getting the
last question in her exam wrong in her mind, she sat back down in
her seat. It was a sultry June morning; outside the birds were
twittering contently, the sun was bearing down on the gray Hogwarts
rooftop and the smell of fresh cut grass wafted in the open window.
Over in the corner, Harry was scribbling something on a spare piece
of parchment to Ron who was spacing out, his head in his hands.
Professor Binns was floating above them, making sure they didn't
cheat. In the front of the room, Parvati and Lavender were practicing
their star charts in preparation for Divination. Hermione was lucky,
that subject was gone since last year. After declaring it useless and
intangible, she had gotten into a spat with Trelawney and dropped it.
Hermione sighed. She was itching to get out of this classroom,
and judging by her muggle watch, they still had a half-hour to go.
Sigh. Another thought crossed her mind. She had to ask Harry and
Ron if they wanted to come visit her in the muggle world over
summer vacation. Her parents had already gave the ok; it was now a
matter of asking. She would have preferred to have Viktor Krum visit
instead, but he was on a promotional tour with the Bulgarian
Quidditch team.
When the bell finally rang, she joined Harry and Ron out in the
corridor.
"Hey" Hermione started, "what are you guys doing during
August?" Ron looked rather startled, but Harry, curious to know what
she was about to ask, responded.
"Nothing, why?" Yes, yes, yes, this is definitely going my way
Hermione thought
.
"Ok, well, I already asked my parents, and if you want to come
stay with me during August this summer at my house, you can. It'll
be cool. You guys, well not you Harry, but Ron- you can get to see
the muggle world, and I can take you guys on a tour." Hermione said
in a rush.
"Yeah! I mean, yeah I'd like that" Ron was a little eager in his
intonation.
"Sure, I think I'll be able to worm my way out of the Dursleys',
but I think we might have to run it by Dumbledore first, 'cause of,
well you know, the whole Vol-- You-Know-Who thing" said Harry
quietly.
"I think we can arrange that, Hermione said, You'd probably
end up going to Ron's and that's not anymore protected than my
house." Harry nodded, and Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way
to Gryffindor Tower.
